Football pundit Stan Collymore revealed that he feels Tottenham need to make high profile signings like Arsenal stars Mesut Özil or Alexis Sanchez regardless of their price tag.
Collymore stated that Spurs missed the opportunity to bring in marquee names like Arsenal did and that their transfer policy has been flawed.
“It’s been a strange three or four seasons – I think the crucial thing is, Tottenham should have gone for a big marquee signing at £30 or 40 million, someone like Mesut Ozil or Sanchez rather than Paulinho – I do fear there will be a big burden of expectation on Harry Kane next year,” Collymore was quoted as saying by HITC.
